PARROT FISH ARE IMPORTANT!!
This morning I went to the market (Alabang market) to buy meat and seafood for the whole week since it's holy week na. I enjoyed my usual chit chat with the vendors and buying from my sukis. On my way out of the fish section I passed a stall that was selling PARROT FISH!!!😡😡😡
I literally stopped and said "that's not good and that's not right" while taking pictures .Wawa naman the parrot fishies! Yes pwede kainin but for us divers this is a big No No!!! There are important reasons why we should not eat them and dapat we should educate the fishermen to stop catching these beautiful fish! Please do spare them ... the ocean needs them to regenerate. Read under to be educated. marami naman mga ibang fish yun na lang catch, sell and cook please.

Here is why: (c&p from the web)

Parrotfish eat algae and dead coral*. They spend up to 90% of their day nibbling. In other words, they clean the reef. This is important because most of the reefs across the tropics are being smothered by algae because there are not enough parrotfish and other herbivores out there grazing.

After all that eating, get this: They poop fine white sand – lots of it! Each parrotfish produces up to 320 kilograms (700 pounds) of sand each year.

Their numbers are so depleted, and algae levels are so high, that they cannot be fished sustainably right now anywhere in the Caribbean. These flamboyant, algae-eating, sand-pooping fish need to be left in the water. And when they are left to chomp away, they do a brilliant job. A massive new report concludes that reefs where parrotfish were abundant in the 1980s are the reefs that are healthy now.

O dba sayang naman sila... there is a reason for their existence so please let's not eat them ... alamin natin bago natin kainin. To our Govt. Please educate naman our fishermen... Say no to catching parrot fish! Let's not buy parrot fish so they wont catch them anymore. #mostcolorfulfishiesunderthesea

Hokkaido Day 4!

For our last day in Hokkaido we went all the way south to Hakodate, which is an absolutely gorgeous port city built right up on the mountains. I'm dying to come back here in the summer to get a feel for what it's like when it's not cold!

We went up top Hakodate mountain, along with 5,000 other Chinese and Japanese tourists, and used our vlogging skills to try to get some great shots of the setting sun over the beautiful port city despite the swarming crowd. (Vlogging pro-tip: sitting on someone's shoulders to get above the crowd is dangerous but effective).

We went to a greenhouse conservatory with beautiful, wonderful warm temperatures and green plants everywhere! They had a lattice ceiling walkway with a field of flowers on top and it was great for taking pictures. Outside for some reason they also have an enclosure for Japanese monkeys with an onsen for them to soak in. But the enclosure seemed really overcrowded (there was poop everywhere, even in the onsen) and it kind of left me with a bad feeling. I love the conservatory but maybe the monkey thing isn't necessary... I realize not everyone would be excited to go to a conservatory like us but still. :/

Hakodate is also apparently famous for sushi, being the big port that it is! We went to a sushi bar recommended by the dude who runs the sharehouse we stayed at and it was the best sushi I've ever had in my life. We ended up spending 2,000 yen for each of us but we were completely filled afterward. The sushi chef said he's been working there for more than 50 years! He was super chill and let us film everything, so there'll be a video about that, too!

Once we get a chance to hook up our computer somewhere I'll make a trip on Odigo that links up all the places we visited in Hokkaido so you guys can check that out of you want!
